Researchers tested the functionality, and evaluated the feasibility of a telemedicine software, Doxy.me, to complete informed teleconsent sessions remotely with prospective research participants. Twenty healthy volunteers completed a teleconsent session, and web survey assessing overall experience and satisfaction with the Doxy.me software. There was a statistically significant correlation found between age and mean response for the overall reaction category (r = 0.398, p = 0.091) and the systems capabilities category (r = 0.380, p = 0.099). Results suggested that younger users are more satisfied than older users with using teleconsent as a modality for informed consenting. This information will be used to improve the software design and functionality of the Doxy.me software to make the teleconsent experience as simple and intuitive as possible.
研究人员测试了一款远程医疗软件Doxy.me的功能,并评估了其与潜在研究参与者远程完成知情远程同意流程的可行性。20名健康志愿者完成了一次远程同意流程,并进行了网络调查,以评估对Doxy.me软件的总体体验和满意度。在年龄与总体反应类别(r = 0.398,p = 0.091)以及系统功能类别(r = 0.380,p = 0.099)的平均反应之间发现了具有统计学意义的相关性。结果表明,年轻用户比年长用户对使用远程同意作为知情同意的方式更满意。这些信息将用于改进Doxy.me软件的设计和功能,以使远程同意体验尽可能简单直观。
